Vision-Saving Care with Tele-Ophthalmology
Specialist TeleMed (STeM) delivers remote ophthalmologic expertise directly to your facility—enabling earlier detection, faster diagnoses, and more timely interventions for patients at risk of vision loss. Our Tele-Ophthalmology services empower hospitals and clinics to provide high-quality eye care, even in locations without a full-time specialist on site.
From diabetic retinopathy screenings to urgent consults for eye trauma or chronic conditions, we make specialty vision care more accessible—and more equitable.
Maintain Trauma Certification with TeleOphthalmology
Hospitals now have 24/7 availability of Ophthalmology coverage via telemedicine to maintain Level 2 Trauma Center designation. This service is available in various coverage options and at a fraction of the cost of Locums or FTEs.
Immediate and specialized care in cases of ocular trauma and emergencies is crucial in preserving vision and ensuring the best possible patient outcomes. However, local Ophthalmology coverage may not be available or financially sustainable.
Continuous TeleOphthalmology coverage helps hospitals elevate their quality of care while reinforcing their commitment to patient safety and retaining their Level 2 Trauma Center designation.
